Spectators and Rodeo Parade participants braved cool weather — but not too cold — to celebrate the start of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo.

The Rodeo Ambassadors led the annual parade as it wound its way through downtown San Angelo along historic streets and past landmarks. The parade featured traditional horse-back riders and authentic antique cars and horse and wagons.

Angelo State University, Central and Lake View high schools and other schools were represented along with rodeo organizations and businesses in San Angelo and the surrounding area.
